BOYCOTT
CHINESE GOODS!

OPPOSE THE CHINESE OCCUPATION OF TIBET. Many toys, shoes, cheap machine tools,
Christmas decorations, stuffed animals, etc. appear on a first
glance at their packaging to have originated in the EU, but were in
fact made by Tibetans in Chinese labour camps.

"I'm
not exaggerating when I say that it's my favourite website out
of all the many on this great big Internet that I've come
across. Spend some wonderful hours laughing, being informed,
being touched and travelling over the place. The Internet at its
very best. Hummingtree

"I still
think your 10,000 Things website is one of the best!!" Mike at
Ethical Wares

"I recommend anyone interested in high
quality and / or critical thought to visit the semi-official website
of 10,000 Things, a
British rock group. The site is also devoted to
an idiosyncratic range of subjects including the Scottish writer
Neil Gunn, VW Camper vans, wood burning stoves, Tibet, the
environment, Zen and, of course, Robert Pirsig).” Anthony McWatt,Department
of Philosophy, University of Liverpool.

"10,000 thankyous for
plugging Save Stonehenge on your website... quite a few hits coming
from your site. I've only just
discovered your pages which are brilliantly inspiring. Wherever I
look on your site there's something that makes me think, "Wow, I'm
so glad someone is doing something about that (even though I don't
have time to)!" I feel better for having seen it & I'll be back
often. And yes, I've read Pirsig too. Thanks again! Chris, Save Stonehenge!"

Look! The World's food problems
have been solved!

Production of
ONE beef steer over its shortlifetime requires283
gallons of oil.

Every year in Britain, more than 850 million animals
face the barbarity of slaughter, many fully conscious. Most spend
their short, brutal lives in confinement, pain and
misery. Viva!

Each year
in the US, 27 billion
animals have their throats cut and their bodies chopped into pieces.

We've still a tendency to blame over-population for the
world's problems, but the birth of one North American child is 20
times more damaging than that of an Ethiopian or a Bangladeshi. Each
US child will consume 20 times more than either (and a British child, 6
to 10 times more).

North America has
4% of the world's population, but is responsible for 25% of all
the pollution that causes climate change.

"We've sunk so much of our national wealth into a
particular way of doing things that we're psychologically compelled
to defend it even if it drives us crazy and kills
us."More

"The
things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price,
peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of
soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life."Theodore Roosevelt
(1858-1919)

"The things that will destroy us
are politics without principle, pleasure
without conscience, wealth without work, knowledge without
character, business without morality, science without humanity and
worship without sacrifice."Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948).

“For the first time in history it is now possible to take
care of everybody at a higher standard of living than any have ever
known. Only ten years ago the ‘more with less’ technology reached
the point where this could be done. All humanity now has the option
to become enduringly successful.” R. Buckminster
Fuller1980

Under heaven all
can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness.All can know
good as good only because there is evil.Therefore having and not
having arise together.Difficult and easy complement each
other.Long and short contrast each other:High and low rest upon
each other;Voice and sound harmonize each other;
Front and back
follow one another.Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing,
teaching no-talking.The ten thousand things rise and fall without
cease,Creating, yet not.Working, yet not taking credit.Work is
done, then forgotten.Therefore it lasts forever.

There is a school of thought that
with web sites, etc., "less is more". A term coined by an estate agent in Leamington Spa, It's very valid, but
this site has taken a change of direction and it's been
turning into a virtual bookcase, if not a small
library. It's stuffed with think-links
& thought-ports and you might easily wander away from here into
the think-forest and we might not see you for days, but we'd like to
think you'll get back to us soon, even if it's just as a starting
point from which to take more excursions, day after day, night after
night.....
